? Bicyclists got a tour of Brooklyn?s best bike paths and neighborhoods Saturday as part of Bike Month NYC.
The Department of Transportation gave the tour, which wound through the area connecting the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. Some cyclists say they are surprised at how many routes and lanes have been built to accommodate them. However, they add that drivers need the tour more than they do. Bicycle riders feel motorists need to learn how to prevent accidents while sharing the road.
Other events for Bike Month NYC include a ride from Grand Army Plaza to Borough Hall Thursday, followed by breakfast with the borough president.
